I'm so glad that I actually finished my zombie in time! When I signed up I had no idea that I would be away from home so much due to a very active fire season. I'm going to mail tomorrow because I'm on duty today. My zombie ended up being oober sweet and not even a hint of scary which is perfect. I will try to post a photo tomorrow but if not hopefully my partner will.

I have LOVED this Swap !!!!
This doll was a bunch of fun to create - I have had a blast.
One more tuck in to complete and she'll be headed to her new home......
Don't want to spoil the fun for my partner, so I'll give you just a little sneek peek :-)

Who is she ..... one with raven hair and cherry red lips ....... one with skin as white as snow?
Can't wait for my partner to get her ..... I hope she likes her as much as I do !!!!
Happy Crafting Ladies !!!

I am having such a great time with this swap! I love dolls, all kinds of dolls and fairytale/storybook dolls are such a delight. There are so many interpretations of their stories that you can really let your creativity run wild when you are creating one and when you add in the zombie aspect… well how can you go wrong??

Since I want my little storybook doll’s new mama to be surprised I am only going to show you a couple of pictures, we can’t have her miss the thrill of discovering the doll created specifically for her.

Something I’ve found quite enjoyable is that as I have been creating this sweet little doll I didn’t have to worry about the “pretty” factor. Usually I am trying for something feminine, and that doesn’t always work, this time I have the Zombie factor to work with and boy has it been fun! Blood and gore, no worries about a crooked, well, anything. Whatever I do works! I am almost finished costuming her and then I get to zombify her clothes, what fun!

I can’t wait to show you what I’ve done… here are a couple of pictures to show you a little bit of the work that has been going on…

Some of the supplies

Making a pattern

She really needs a manicure

My family is a little worried about me, lately, when I am working in the studio they overhear crazy laughter and mumblings of blood and bones, torn skin and braaains…

Thanks for checking her out, I’ll post a picture of the complete doll at the end of the month once she has arrived at her new home.
